Episode 016: Web Tools for Masons

Listen Now





One of the most important tasks of any lodge is to communicate effectively with their members. The web offers tons of great tools to help Masons do just that. Many of these tools are cheap or even free of charge (usually if you put up with some advertising). In this, the first of several episodes we'll do from time to time, we review some tools to help your Lodge keep a calendar, manage email lists and start a trestleboard-style blog.

I made a blog in an hour that incorporated a lot of the technologies I review in this episode. You can check out my handiwork here

Here are links to the apps reviewed:

Google Calendar

Google Docs (formerly Writely) and Spreadsheet

30Boxes

TimeToMeet

Evite

Blogger

TypePad

WordPress

TextMarks

Campaign Monitor

BackPack

Delicious Library

Comments

I would also suggest www.librarything.com This is a good way to list reliable books for new members.
